Persephone was blushing but smiled.

Thera blinked. “But it takes nine months. My teacher said so.”

“Do you accept that some alphas can do things others can’t?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Well, some omegas can do things like that, too. Our family can have babies fast. Our mom could do it, but she only did it once. She said two omegas in the family were enough.” Keres smiled.

Thera looked at her with her eyes wide. “You are an omega?”

“Of course. Twins always match. I am just an Elite omega. We are... taller.”

Antonio laughed. “You are that.”

Dante squeezed her hand. “She’s just right.”

Estelle and Ekhart walked up. Estelle had a high colour on her cheeks, and her lips were swollen. Ekhart had a hand on her back protectively or possibly possessively.

Keres smiled. “So, how are things going to work out?”

Ekhart cleared his throat. “I have to make a few calls. I will propose, and I live near Tobin’s school, so there will be minimum uproar on that end.”

Estelle smiled. “He will meet the book club, and if he can withstand that, I will consider saying yes.”

Tobin suddenly began to bounce on Dante’s shoulders. “Party! Mom, can Mr. Dante come?”

Keres looked at Ekhart’s expression as he said, “Estelle, can I invite my family?”

Achilles chuckled.

Estelle looked around and met Keres’ eyes. “Will you come to babysit?”

Keres nodded. “I will.”

“If I say yes, can I get the upgrade you were talking about earlier?”

“Sure. But it hurts. It is every growing pain that you ever experienced. Your bones are solid, and growth plates are nearly expended, but it can be done.”

“How long will it take?”

Keres winced. “Well, if you are up for a long night of screaming without after-play, it can be done in one day.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. You will need a new driver’s license and wardrobe as well.” Keres smiled. “And you will need to gain a bit of weight once you make up your mind. It will help and keep your energy up. Can I take your hands?”

Estelle nodded. “Sure? But why?”

“I am trying to see how tall you will be.” Keres took her hands and eased them away from the guys so that she could get a clean read.

Estelle looked at her and said softly, “I dreamed about you. So have some of the others who escaped.”

“I don’t know what to say about that. Should I be flattered or terrified?” She contacted the local green and growing energies and then began to run them along Estelle’s body. An image began to form around Estelle, and Tobin gasped.

“Mom. You look so pretty!”

Estelle smiled, but she kept her gaze on Keres as the projection made her a foot taller, a few inches broader and made her purple eyes bright and gleaming. Keres murmured, “Do you know why the long hair is a thing?”
